You'll see that the whole first episode "Are We Crazy About our Kids?" - viewable online - makes the economic case for investments in early childhood education - offering some wonderful fresh examples that you will find really useful as you share the keys to a Caring Economy with others.

One specific example from the video: Quebec's child poverty rates went from the worst to the best in Canada after they introduced universal early care and preschool (from birth to age five) available to all parents at a cost of $7 a day, along with paid parental leave and other family supports....
Doesn't get clearer than that for those seeking evidence of economic return on caring policies, does it?
Thanks Cherri!
